In 1977, I was looking for a 4x4 and saw the '72 K20 on a Chevy lot. It had just been traded in and hadn't been 'detailed' yet. I liked the body style better than newer trucks and thought it looked sturdier also.

The dealer had just put new Armstrong highway tires on it (bias ply 7.50-16, 8pr on split rims) and I drove it straight to the Armstrong shop and swapped for 7.50-16 traction tires.
